Self Access Center

My name is Cevatcan Okunan. Self Access Center is a place where students come together with their peers and try to improve their language skills. Activities based on the four basic language skills are carried out within the Self Access Center. These activities are; speaking, listening, reading and writing. Of these, only the writing activity is provided by our teachers. The rest are carried out by the students of the department who have completed their language preparation process. Students can voluntarily participate in Self Access Center activities. In this direction, preparatory students organize these activities in the classrooms. In speaking activities, a conversation club is organized with the students on certain topics, and often by playing games based on improving speaking skills. In addition, we use the materials carefully selected by our teachers for listening and reading activities. On special days such as New Year's Eve and holidays, we prepare concept events and presentations. We aim to contribute to language learning through culture. In addition to all these, we have a preparatory exam for our students. We perform listening, reading and writing activities for the preparatory exam. We plan to increase the grades of our students in the exam and increase their success in preparatory education. First of all, I can say that there is often a barrier between the students and the language they are learning. The aim of this center is to eliminate this barrier between the student and language learning. Students can come together with their peers and gain a familiarity with the language through the various activities they perform here. They can understand that there is nothing to be afraid of. For this reason, we are trying to provide a service to our students who continue their preparatory education by benefiting from the experiences of our students who have completed their preparatory education. Our students can use the materials prepared in our center on reading, listening, writing and speaking. In addition to these, there are story books and novels presented to our students in our center. All the books in our center are in English. We know the importance of our students' exposure to foreign languages ​​as much as possible in terms of language development. For this reason, we have a large number of English books in our center. In addition to these, our students can also use computers and the materials we upload to our computers. They can also access various online activities. I wish success to students who are preparing for the university exam.
